In recent years, the club has hosted a number of high-profile figures including former leaders Ed Miliband, Neil Kinnock and Gordon Brown, as well as former Welsh first minister, Mark Drakeford. Other speakers have included Angela Eagle, Harriet Harman, Hazel Blears, David Miliband, Margaret Hodge, Ed Balls, John Prescott, Tristram Hunt, Alan Johnson, Andy Burnham, Iain McNicol, David Lammy, Hilary Benn, Axelle Lemaire and Ken Livingstone.
